Question

Derive the first order rate equation of radioactive disintegration?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Calculations Using the First Order Rate Equation: r = k[N]

Since the rate of radioactive decay is first order we can say: r = k[N]1, where r is a measurement of the rate of decay, k is the first order rate constant for the isotope, and N is the amount of radioisotope at the moment when the rate is measured.
